A plot in an external gnuplot window is a live object. You can interact 
with it by your mouse and change it in various ways. After you are 
completely satisfied, you can export it from gnuplot as an .eps file. Then 
it is trivial to insert in into a TeXmacs document.

A plot inside TeXmacs is a dead object. You cannot interact with it. 
Therefore, I think that having a live plot in an externa gnuplot window is 
much better.

I don't understand why you need gimp. The prefered graphics format for 
importing into TeXmacs is eps. gnuplot is perfectly able to produce it, 
without any extra convertion programs.
